Because it was too late, Xiao Yan and Qin Yan's battle was postponed to the next day. Although this did not dampen the enthusiasm of all the spectators, Xiao Yan and Qin Yan knew the reason for this and therefore did not object. In the end, everyone had to leave disappointed, looking forward to the final battle between these two prodigies the next day.
This night was destined to be sleepless.
Xiao Yan was eagerly anticipating tomorrow's battle, while also being anxious about the condition of the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva. If the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley still failed to appear after his battle with Qin Yan ended tomorrow, then the purpose of his trip to Burning Flame Valley would likely be completely lost.
For Xiao Yan now, even if he can't see the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, if he can meet the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, then perhaps there is still room for reversal. Otherwise, things will probably become troublesome.
On the other side, Qin Yan was also patiently recovering his condition for tomorrow's battle, hoping to fight Xiao Yan in his peak condition.
As for the others, they were naturally filled with anticipation as they awaited the dawn of tomorrow.
The night was slow and long. The first light of dawn was like an alarm bell waking the world. Everyone sprang into action the moment the first ray of sunlight fell. Streaks of light streaked across the sky and gathered early in the square. The atmosphere was even more vibrant than the previous day.
Amidst everyone's eager anticipation, the two main characters of today's event finally arrived one after the other.
The two young men were like two dazzling new stars. After this battle, not only Qin Yan, but also Xiao Yan's name would surely rise to prominence in the Far Southern Land!
"Hey, I knew Xiao Yan wasn't an ordinary person long ago. His domineering attitude at the Burning Flame Valley's grand event shows he's no ordinary person. I think Qin Yan of Burning Flame Valley has finally met his match!"
"That's strange. I've never heard of this young man in the Far Southern Land before. Where did Xiao Yan suddenly come from?"
"Perhaps he's a scion of some reclusive powerful family. The Far Southern Land is full of hidden talents and powerful forces. Being unknown doesn't mean they lack strength. Take the Cloud Cloud-Hidden Pavilion Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, for example. Although very few people know about it, it's said that its foundation is in no way inferior to the Three Sects of the Southern Region. Especially the Pavilion Master of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion —no one has ever seen his true face!"
"..."
Now, those viewers who were initially disdainful of Xiao Yan have all changed their tune, now displaying expressions of admiration and worship that are truly laughable. When they mention the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, the Origin King experts in the front row all change their expressions. Clearly, they are very aware of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion's power, and judging from their expressions, they not only know it but also show considerable fear.
Such a colossal being commanded respect in this Far Southern Land, even among so-called Origin King.
When Luo Jin heard these words, he smiled noncommittally and continued chatting and laughing with Bai Hua and the others until Xiao Yan and Qin Yan were standing in the center of the square, at which point everyone's attention turned to them.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan, although we have only known each other for a short time, I have long admired your strength. To be able to fight you today is to fulfill a long-cherished wish."
"Brother Qin Yan's combat prowess is extraordinary, and he has even comprehended the Great Dao of Fire, which is truly admirable. I am also very curious, since we are both fire-attribute cultivators, who would be superior?"
"Haha, we'll know after one battle!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Qin Yan immediately burst into laughter, his face full of heroic spirit and quite carefree. Similarly, Xiao Yan was not to be outdone, and he also laughed loudly. Then, his body trembled, and a powerful aura swept outward from his body, forming an invisible energy storm that quickly swept across the square.
Sensing Xiao Yan's powerful aura, Qin Yan's expression tightened slightly. He could sense that Xiao Yan's cultivation had improved significantly compared to two days ago, and it seemed that he was about to break through to the Middle Origin Return Realm.
"Haha, thanks to the challenge from hundreds of disciples of your valley the other day, my cultivation has been further refined and improved. I should be breaking through to the Middle Origin Return Realm soon."
As if understanding Qin Yan's thoughts, Xiao Yan laughed heartily, and with a thought, the Origin Qi within his body began to circulate rapidly.
"Now then, let's fight!"
With a sharp shout, Xiao Yan slammed his foot into the ground, the blue bricks beneath his feet shattering as he shot forward. This time, Xiao Yan chose to strike first.
"Hahaha, come on!"
Seeing this, Qin Yan was not afraid at all. He also rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, the two collided.
Xiao Yan's fierce fist rushed head-on towards Qin Yan. The latter clenched his right fist, and his Origin Qi surged forth, instantly coating his fist with raging flames. Then, the two fists collided heavily.
As soon as the blow landed, the two men took a half step back before their fists struck again, their legs kicking and stomping in a fierce melee that dazzled the eye. Their bodies twisted and turned, palms to the side and fists to the side, their figures flashing and afterimages appearing one after another. For hundreds of rounds, the two men were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Such a fierce battle left the Burning Flame Valley disciples below the stage in disbelief, and the countless spectators on the stage were even more astonished. Their mouths were agape, their eyes wide with disbelief, revealing their utter shock. Even the Origin King experts in the front row were full of praise. It was truly difficult not to admire the amazing strength displayed by the two juniors.
Based on this battle alone, it's not hard to imagine that the two of them will become outstanding individuals, the cream of the crop!
After several fierce battles, unable to gauge each other's strength, the two resorted to Dou Technique. Compared to pure hand-to-hand combat, more powerful and domineering Dou Technique could demonstrate their most direct effect in such a battle.
On either side of the plaza, Xiao Yan and Qin Yan stood guard, their surging Origin Qi condensing between their palms. In the surrounding void, clusters of flames also condensed, until they completely filled half the sky before gradually ceasing.
" High Spirit Class Dou Technique, Wan Huo Starfall!"
As Qin Yan's shout fell, the flames that had been hovering high in the void around him suddenly shot out, trailing long streaks of fire, and hurtled towards Xiao Yan like falling meteors.
" High Spirit Class Dou Technique, Wasteland-Spanning Finger!"
